100 Days Of Sean Spicer: Complete Blooper Reel

Let’s just be clear, it’s been a tough 100 days for a whole lot of Americans.

As Elizabeth Warren recently put it, “God, it’s like dog years or something.”

Indeed, even the President himself seems to be tired of it. “I loved my previous life. I had so many things going,” Trump told Reuters in an interview this week. “This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier.”

But we’d be willing to bet that no one (with the possible exception of pretty much all religious and ethnic minorities in America) has had a tougher time than Sean Spicer. As we’ve documented extensively, this is a guy whose job it is to go out everyday and explain lies that he didn’t tell to a press corps that’s out to crucify him.

To make matters worse, he can’t think on his feet to save his life and he’s a terrible public speaker.

Writing about a subject is the best
way to educate yourself about it, and when I flick through past work I remember how much
they taught me, if no one else. Mainly they taught me that I didn’t know very much. But they
also taught me that most other people didn’t know much either. Thus, some key themes
which stand out include the illusory control of policy makers, the presumed knowledge of
those looking to them to actively do good, the ease with which we fool ourselves, and how
best to protect capital in the face of such unavoidable uncertainty. -- Dylan Grice
